I had earlier made Tuxedo Sam, so Purin was a 'friend' for him. I also have a free pattern of Tuxedo Sam on my site. Incidentally, both characters love eating!

For both, I used a 2.50mm crochet hook and similar-sized yarn. They were super-fun to make! I added pink brads to give these classic Sanrio characters an extra kawaii look. They took me a couple of days each to complete. Now they're sitting pretty in a special hamper basket that I have saved for my amigurumi creations. More free patterns will be coming soon!
